If your horse loses a shoe??

[marinitagsd]

As above really, how quickly will your farrier come out before your next booked appointment?
Thanks

Well farrier comes weekly to our yard, so I normally just get him done the next time he's coming.

 

[BackInBlack]

farrier comes my way twice a week so within a few days usually.

 

[wildpoppywild]

he will usually come out within a couple of days

 

[TicTac]

I have only ever had to wait for 2 days at the most. My farrier will usually try and come out the next day.

 

[JoBo]

Well depends if he is in the area, but the one and only time Bodey lost a shoe it was 2 days, and that was over a weekend. Our farrier is fab!!!

 

[TheFarrier]

Normally two days at the most.

 

[TheFarrier]

From the time im told it was lost not two days before the next appt!!

 

[megwan1]

i'm lucky my farrier lives in the same village so will pop in either early or morning b4 he starts or on his way home

so never more than a day or so

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Usually same day or next day latest

Last time happened to be Good Friday which was fantastic (had a competition on the Sunday) - but then he is the best farrier around (apart from TheFarrier, obviously

)

i have never had to wait more than a day.....and thats even for loose shoes if I am wanting to hunt or something.....

Having said that, I have very rarely had a lost shoe and it has always been caused by her, rather than the shoe falling off on its own!

I think my farrier is fab.....I might have said that before!

 

[MrsMozart]

Can't remember, but as quick as he can

. Once had to wait a week, which was a pain in the butt, but he has been out on the same day on another occasion (Dizz is a whizz at pulling them off when she's having a scat

).

 

[TheFarrier]

Splotchy

 

[marinitagsd]

You are all sooo lucky. I now have to wait 2 weeks!!!!!!!!
He is my usual farrier and because of the time getting him out I used two different farriers with really bad results so looks like I'm gonna have to wait, don't trust anyone else.
Feeling really p..sed off as its bang in the middle of my show season.

[PhoebeandOla]

Im in that situation now having waited just over a week he is coming tommorow thankfully

 

[LadyRascasse]

i don't know yet but my farrier is really good and he would fit them in as soon as he could

 

[Grey_Eventer]

well my old farrier would leave my dad to nail it back in... he wouldnt come out! luckily my dad does know how to do it, but nailing back on an old shoe is far from ideal!

 

[lovecharles]

when C lost his, we had the farrier within 2 days.

 

[jumptoit]

3 days at the most unless he is really busy although he has come at 7 am and 9 pm before! Although now I try give him prior warning if we have event (my mare is a pro at throwing them!!) and as he comes every 2 weeks for a couple at a time I shift appointments as best I can so he's here the night before! If all else fails I get them done by the event farrier as it's generally BE.

 

[AmyMay]

Usually a day or so.

 

[TheFarrier]

I cover a large area so if it happens to be the end of the week sometimes that client may have to wait until the next time i am in that area but this is no more than prob four/five days including the weekend. Although have been known to do very early or very late especially if its an emergency. If i am at furthest stop one area and its someone in furthest stop in another that could be as much as over 100miles

B has never lost a shoe with the current wonderful farrier! He did pull a nail going nuts in the field last week and farrier stopped in on his way home that night to put it back in

The old farrier would switch his phone off Friday lunchtime until Monday lunchtime and shoes would regularly drop off on the firday before a comp

 

[4leggedfurries]

Mine normally comes out within a couple of days, but if he's my way, he sometimes comes that evening or following morning. He's really good as were trying to get D's feet right as they wernt the best when i bought him, so he doesnt like to leave him missing a shoe.

 

[black_horse]

my farrier is fab! usually either same day or defo next day

 

[katie_and_toto]

Very rare that Toto throws a shoe, but if he does our farrier comes out as soon as he can

Normally a day or two

 

[alfie95]

My farrier will come out same day but when my horse loses a shoe he goes lame.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Never had to wait longer than 24 hours!!

Love my farrier - and bacon sarnies work wonders.....

 

[TheFarrier]

id come out sooner for a bacon sarnie

 

[Horseyscot]

My boy pulled a shoe yesterday, and farrier is coming tomorrow

 

[3Beasties]

Usually a day or so from when I get hold of him, getting hold of him is the problem! It can take me up to two weeks of phoning and leaving messages before he phones me back!

He's the type of Farrier who doesn't let his clients book in advance so as you can imagine it can become a bit of a nightmare when they desperately need doing!
